Department of Competitiveness

Binyamin Appelbaum and Helene Cooper at The New York Times:

The administration may also merge the Department of Commerce, the Office of the United States Trade Representative and some economic divisions at the State Department into a new agency, administration officials said. Possible names include the Department of Jobs or the Department of Competitiveness.

I’m sure this new department will pick up the slack where the the Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor, and Office of Personnel Management are failing. No redundancies there.

I love the name Department of Competitiveness. It sounds so Laissez-faire.
